Getting caught up...

Yesterday I wrote that I had two projects and a block to get done by the next quilt guild meeting in December... today I was able to work toward getting caught up.

I stayed home today, because I didn't want to take a chance driving Hwy 309 in the falling sleet and ice. Who knows I probably could have made it fine but I chose to stay home and use my last vacation day. I guess I will have to go back tomorrow... but since I was home today, I used my time toward getting some projects done.

Here is a glimpse of what I worked on today. It is hand pieced. I then embroidered the center block with a nativity scene. Don't look to close at it, as I free handed the scene and it is far from perfect. All I have left to do is quilt it and bind it. The finished product will be about 12" square and I plan to use it as part of my Christmas decor.

So, two steps forward... and I will have to continue on during the rest of the week.
